It was reported on Fox as well, about 20 minutes before they got Younger Brother. ---

Their telling the officers to return to the buses and their district. It’s definitely over. I respect the professionalism they showed capturing this guy alive. Especially considering the shooting of the officer last night. They took their time and got him out of that boat the right way. ---

Why don’t news outlets report what’s on the police bands? Maybe not the positioning or something strategic, but the news that comes over them, like the capture or the shooting info? I sure would love to hear the FBI on this one… ---

This thread is like the 9-11 thread. It’s fascinating to read from the events of last night until now. It’s just an interesting Timeline of events as they unfolded. To read it all at once which is Amazing. ---

I will say that I’m impressed that they took this guy alive. I guess being raised in California has turned me cynical. ---

I just heard a news source say that the police knew since last night that he had been wounded. There was a blood trail. Then, there was blood again near the boat and in the boat. When they had first visual contact with him, he was barely moving, and not in an organized way. Now they have to keep him alive. ---
